Bannon confesses fraud: $ 15 million in a wall project!

In a dramatic turning point, Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist of Donald Trump, guilty on Tuesday, has committed to having committed fraud in connection with the controversial wall building on the Mexico border. According to the information from Krone, he is accused of having false promises together with the "We Build the Wall" organization over a year of $ 15 million (around 14.5 million euros). The claims are based on the accusations of the New York public prosecutor, which Bannon also charged money laundering in addition to fraud.

The legal problems of Bannon have a long history. In August 2020, he was arrested for suspicion of embezzlement of donations that were to be financed by Trump's election promise. However, Bannon was pardoned on January 19, 2021, one day before Trump's departure, which protected him from judicial persecution in this case. As ORF reported, Bannon now received a "Conditional Discharge", which means that he is spared another prison sentence or fine. Despite the beneficiary treatment, Bannon remains an influential figure in the political right of the United States, especially through his well -walking podcast "The War Room", where he continues to spread his controversial views.

These news illustrates the ongoing legal turbulence around Bannon, which has not only been in difficulties in the past, but also continues to shape the political landscape with its influence.
